* 'for-3.2/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (30 commits)
virtio-blk: use ida to allocate disk index
hpsa: add small delay when using PCI Power Management to reset for kump
cciss: add small delay when using PCI Power Management to reset for kump
xen/blkback: Fix two races in the handling of barrier requests.
xen/blkback: Check for proper operation.
xen/blkback: Fix the inhibition to map pages when discarding sector ranges.
xen/blkback: Report VBD_WSECT (wr_sect) properly.
xen/blkback: Support 'feature-barrier' aka old-style BARRIER requests.
xen-blkfront: plug device number leak in xlblk_init() error path
xen-blkfront: If no barrier or flush is supported, use invalid operation.
xen-blkback: use kzalloc() in favor of kmalloc()+memset()
xen-blkback: fixed indentation and comments
xen-blkfront: fix a deadlock while handling discard response
xen-blkfront: Handle discard requests.
xen-blkback: Implement discard requests ('feature-discard')
xen-blkfront: add BLKIF_OP_DISCARD and discard request struct
drivers/block/loop.c: remove unnecessary bdev argument from loop_clr_fd()
drivers/block/loop.c: emit uevent on auto release
drivers/block/cpqarray.c: use pci_dev->revision
loop: always allow userspace partitions and optionally support automatic scanning
...
Fic up trivial header file includsion conflict in drivers/block/loop.c
